Tickets: $10 18 and Over showclix.com/event/PigsBloodProm interview: Interview: LoveSick plans. The CD is self-titled? “The CD is, indeed, self-titled. It's sort of a 7-song demo. Where and when did you record it? “We recorded with our buddy Chris Procopio. The time frame is sort of misleading, because we did it here and there over the last year and a half, when Chris had time to fit us in among some of his other projects.” Any upcoming gigs we should know about? “We'd like to get out on the road for a week or two this year, if the Julie Michael is a protégé’of the Granati family and a long-time instructor. We asked her about the art of teaching guitar. How long have you been teaching? Julie: 15 years Do you have a set program or do you tailor lessons to the tastes of a student? Julie: I tailor it to the goals of the student and parents. Some students want to learn to play songs. Others want to learn to play songs and read, plus learn some theory. Others only want to read, so I gear each lesson individually. photo by: Tyler Kairy LoveSick, fresh off their exceptional show at the Hard Rock Café Winter X Challenge, releases their self-titled debut CD this month. Their release party h a p p e n s Saturday, April 6 at Deadhorse Cantina. We t a l k e d t o drummer Chris Harford about the new release and the band’s Guitar Instructor Julie Michael right opportunity arises. We'll be hitting it fairly heavily around the area, too. In terms of other upcoming events, we'll be at RPMs on May 11th and The Dead Horse on May 17th with Wildstreet. We also have a new website at www.lovesickrocks.com, which features band news, a full listing of upcoming shows, and some tracks from the CD. What are common problems you find students run in to? Julie: Positioning and fingering often making it difficult to play a song. Often students are just trying to get to the note that they often trip over their fingering making it more difficult to play. Usually suggesting some alternate fingering and positioning makes a big difference. Probably the other issue that I see a lot is that they stop a lot making it hard for them to hear the song. Also learning to play through the songs no matter how many mistakes helps them to develop their performance playing skills. Is there an age group you prefer to work with? Julie: All ages. I've taught from 6-85. Most students range from 7-45. What levels and styles do you teach? Julie: All levels but specialize in beginners-intermediate. Purple Purple Tuesdays Tuesdays BUSTED?

Nightingale CRIMINAL DEFENSE ATTORNEY 210 GR ANT STREET, SUITE 401 PITTSBURGH, PA 15219 (412) 454-5582 MARAH Returns to Pittsburgh April 6 Hailing originally from New Your City, Marah did a crash and burn that would have swallowed most bands in a fiery impact crater. Whether they fled their home, or wiped the dust off of their feet, remains to be seen. Either way, they moved to the hills of Pennsylvania, and in near-cliché manner, reinvented themselves. Or perhaps they found out who they’d been all along. And it matters not one whit. The results are wonderful. After arriving in PA, the two remaining members of Marah, got a house, cobbled together some gear and looked around. They recorded Life is a Problem, some of which is described as “equal parts Grandpa Jones, Led Zeppelin, and Biggie Smalls.” Marah is coming again. Tenacious as a goddam briar patch, this is a band that has been dealt seemingly mortal blows, yet continues to thrive, continues to make music that speaks to metal head and hill jack alike. We’re not even going to discuss genre here, for in Then something wonderful the words of Neil Young, “It’s all one happened—they discovered a book, song.” And Marah plays that song so Mountain Minstrelsy of Pennsylvania, that very nicely. would seemingly give a rather new direction, or at the very least, reaffirm the path that they had taken. It was a book filled with songs of the hills. Songs sung at lumber camps. Songs played around fires, and on sagging porches. The band decided to “to record an album that would attempt to capture the book's t r e m e n d o u s atmosphere and ‘sense of place’ using our own original soundtrack.” The results were beautiful. Marah will be bringing Mountain Minstrelsy to The Kollar Klub at 8:00 pm on April 6th. What to expect? Well, there will be wonderful music played by musicians who like to let the music do the talking. Yeah, this stuff is mountain music, traditional music, It’ll be music to stomp to. It’ll be music that will transcend genre—no matter what your taste, you will walk out with a smile. Because, like Neil Young says, “It’s all one song.” James Vanfossen April 7th Beaver Coutny Maple Syrup Festival with For Those About to Rock Academy April 23rd Opening Night for BIKE NIGHT at JERGELS May 5th Pittsburgh Marathon with For Those About to Rock Academy Every Tuesday- JAM Night at Jergels Hosted by David and Hermie Granati Every Thurs, Fri, and Sat.

Blistering guitar riffs, pounding drums and lyrics belted out with seismic force are the norms throughout this offering. Executed with real skill, this album is a blast from the past, the golden age of heavy metal. There is none of the selfindulgent pining of many of today’s bands. LE Shook Self-titled demo Eric Sweeney - Singer Patrick Eberz - Drummer Chris Ehrenberger - Bass / Guitarist Michael Lewandowski - Bass / Guitarist LE Shook has certainly turned some heads recently as a participant in the Hard Rock Rising Battle of the Bands. Their 3 song demo showcases the high energy rock sound which won them a spot in the competition and deservedly so. With a sound that can be compared to national artists without being too tied to any one influence, they are definitely on the right track. The overall drive and rhythm reminds one of a young Red Hot Chili Peppers, especially on the first 2 tracks, but does not fall into the dreaded ‘hero worship zone’ so many bands make the mistake of entering in their formative stages. Make no mistake; these gents are still finding themselves. But from this demo, it sounds as if the search will be a short one. “Main Street” features strong lyrics and an excellent guitar solo courtesy of Chris Ehrenberger, who along with fellow guitarist Michael Lewandowski, does double duty as a bass player. This is a factor which will most likely allow LE Shook to remain fresh and original as they introduce new material, as the 2 can trade off for different sounds on different songs. The constancy is provided by drummer Patrick Eberz and singer Eric Sweeney. Patrick’s drumming is as solid as an old oak door and he really hammers it on my favorite track, “All We Know.” Throughout it all, the rich sound of Eric Sweeney ties it together, ranging from fast paced nearrapping on “All We Know” to more melodic and introspective styling on “Leaving”, the last track. While still in development, this is nonethe-less a very good debut effort from a band we will probably be hearing more good things from in the future. Starting out can be tough, but LE Shook has entered the fray with fire and joy, as well as talent and good instincts. – Jay Belfiore facebook.com/ DaveWhaleySupport www.TheChurchRecordingStudio.com 2020 Dartmore St. Pittsburgh Pa. 15210 mobile: 412-818-1307 [email protected] One contrast with the metal of the past, however, is also the lack of selfindulgent guitar solos which songs sometimes seemed to be written around rather than vice-versa. And yet, there is enough gravity to the songs to keep them well above the simple party rock water mark. Two criticisms do loom large however. One is the tendency to channel influences too strongly. This was most apparent on track 3, “February Farewell”, which could’ve been a previously un-released Cinderella track. The other was a similarity of groove to many of the tracks which made them hard to distinguish from one another at times, especially during a casual listening. This was nicely broken up by “Night Runner” with its slower pace and plaintive vocals and guitar work. “Home From Sea” was another nice change of pace, with lyrics borrowed from the Robert Louis Stevenson novel Underwoods. A band that is well read tends to write more interesting songs than the “my life sucks/my girl broke my heart/mommy didn’t love me enough” whininess which is too prevalent these days. Simply put, whatever criticisms one can apply to Long Time Divided, the tendency to writeabout themselves too much is definitely not one of them. Definitely worth checking out if you like a more traditional metal sound. – Jay Belfiore THE SOUTH SIDE STARTS HERE CHARLIE MURDOCHS 1005 E.
